Jersey web service exception

I am using jersey spring rest service in weblogic application. I see the below Error on server startup, which is happening while trying to register Jersey rest beans.

Just want to add that the rest bean call is happening fine and getting the response with current Spring versions. We get this error only while initializing the SpringServlet and it happens only during the initial call. I don't see this error for the remaining rest calls.

Also, I am unable to find any issue in the XML...I had added the restBean.xml below..
